CURTAIN UP!

 

The curtain is going up on our newest theater arts class beginning September 18 at San Pedro Playhouse for aspiring young performers ages seven to 15.  The group, aptly called "Curtain Up!" will meet every Saturday at San Pedro Playhouse from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. through December 11.  The semester-long program will culminate with a performance recital in the San Pedro Playhouse Russell Hill Rogers Theater.  The class will cover all areas of theater arts, including theater games, terms, improvisation, singing, dancing and auditioning techniques.  Tuition will be $200 per student for the entire semester.  A limited number of need-based scholarships are available. Call the Box office at 210-733-7258 to enroll your kid today.
